So North Korea has tested another nuclear bomb:
The procedure has been stringently correct.
One remembers the surface and atmospheric tests
Of years ago - this was six miles underground.
It really makes one wonder at the double standards
That only some countries can posses the ultimate
Deterrent, while those that aspire to this safety
Are pre-judged with evil intent, are bastards.
The nuclear bomb has so far proved itself to be
A guardian of the peace, all modern wars waged
Lack its application, as in Iraq, Afghanistan,
Conventional warfare enables the hostility.
Of course, no nuclear country will ever use its clout -
It stands to reason, so why suspend the logic?
The old argument of mutual annihilation holds good
Today, as ever it did: it is guns that should go out.
